SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

The official language of the TSD2017 conference is English. Thus, the submitted papers must be written in English. However, papers dealing with text and speech processing in linguistic environments other than English are strongly encouraged (as long as they are written in English).

FORMAT OF THE CONFERENCE

The conference programme will include presentations of invited papers (keynote speeches), oral presentations, and poster/demonstration sessions. Papers will be presented in plenary or topic-oriented sessions. A preliminary conference programme will be published at the conference web pages in the Programme section as soon as it is assembled.

Social events including a trip in the vicinity of Pilsen will allow additional informal interactions. The detailed information about the social events can be found in the Social Events section of the TSD2017 web.

PROCEEDINGS

Proceedings of the TSD2017 conference form a book published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture
Notes in Artificial Intelligence (LNAI) series. The TSD proceedings are regularly indexed by
Thomson Reuters (Conference Proceedings Citation Index, formerly ISI).

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors are invited to submit a full paper not exceeding 8 pages (in total, i.e. with all figures, bibliography, etc. included) formatted in the LNCS style (see below). Those accepted will be presented either orally or as posters. The decision about the presentation format will be based upon the recommendation of three reviewers. The authors are asked to submit their papers using the on-line submission interface accessible from the TSD2017 web application (see the SUBMISSION PROCEDURE paragraph below).

Papers submitted to TSD2017 must not be under review by any other conference or publication during the TSD2017 review cycle, and must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere.

As the reviewing is double-blind, the paper should not contain the authors' names and/or affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that may reveal the author's identity, like e.g. "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to the requirements above are subject to be rejected without review.

The authors are strongly encouraged to typeset their papers using LaTeX. The LaTeX format is necessary for the final versions of the papers that will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes series. Authors using a MS Word-compatible software for the final version must use the LNCS template for MS Word and within the submit process ask the Proceedings Editors to convert the paper to LaTeX format. For this service a service-and-license fee of CZK 1500 will be charged automatically.

Authors are also invited to present actual projects, developed software or interesting material relevant to the topics of the conference. The presenters of the demonstration should provide the abstract not exceeding one page. The demonstration abstracts will not appear in the conference proceedings.

SUBMISSION TEMPLATE

Important! The best option to begin the preparation of your paper for the TSD2017 conference is to start out with the
TSD2017 submission template. This template was carefully prepared by the conference proceedings editors and using it will guarantee flawless incorporation of your prospective submission into the proceedings. The template comes out from the original Springer's LNCS/LNAI template, however, it has been fine-tuned for the best possible look of the resulting book of proceedings.
